Fret King Super-Matic Gloss Black Electric Guitar

This is a Fret King Super-Matic Electric Guitar in Gloss Black finish. Made in 2012, this bolt-on neck constructed guitar consists of an Alder body, a Hard Maple neck, and a 24-fret Indian Rosewood fingerboard. Other features include chrome die-cast tuners, a Wilkinson ATD self-tuning bridge (please see report), and a set of HSH Wilkinson pickups that are wired to a master volume, two Vari-coil controls, and a five-way pickup selector.

The satin finish soft ‘C’ neck plays very well, feeling comfortable in the hand, with the rounded neck heel giving unobstructed access to the upper register, while the medium jumbo fret wire feels rock solid, giving loads to work with when bending.

The Wilkinson humbuckers produce a thick and powerful modern tone. The neck pickup provides crystal clear clean sounds, with more aggressive mids and increased sustain as you crank the gain, this is perfect for high-speed solos and long sustained melodic interludes. The bridge pickup offers a tight bottom end, and a searing high frequency cut, making a great pickup for heavy styles of music and modern techniques. The Wilkinson WHSM ‘vintage voiced’ single-coil in the middle position sits great with a nice balance of bright trebles and full warm bass, and lends itself well to rhythm tones. Providing a great feel and clarity, allowing the player to achieve a wide variety of tones all at the fingertips. Fret-King’s unique Varicoil control, this guitar is perfect for a whole range of styles, making for a hugely versatile instrument that easily meets the needs of the modern working musician.
